Even now, he sulks like Achilles in his tent!
Huh?
Achilles... it's the Iliad?
READ A BOOK!!
Huh?
Will he ever return?
one can only hope, but we all know good times never last
all you can really do is carry on spirit of the things you love in the way you live and the things you make
so basically I'm telling you to build yourself a superhero costume and fight crime, don't worry, it's not too dangerous

The Tick is an interesting case. He's very popular and beloved by fans but he's never really been popular enough to break into the mainstream of comics or media in the same way as say Invincible or even Spawn.
Well Venture Bros is over so maybe Doc and Jackson can do a Tick series with Ben again? I liked the Live Action series but Tick works better as a cartoon.
Complete, uncensored box set re-release when?
the only episode left out of the OG box set was the one with the Mole People right?
Such a based episode, so much venture dna in that one.
Apparently there was a season 2 episode missing as well
At first glance it looked like he had a huge boner.
Goddammit, now i can't unsee it.
Somebody send this to guillem March to teach him how to draw
There will never be another show like it
is this any good
or nostalgia
I personally think it's the best cartoon ever
It's a 90s cartoon, so if anything it's even better than it was when it came out since modern standards are so poor.
comic is fricking based. the cartoon is good saturday morning fare. The show with warburton is meh/mid but it has its moments. I wouldn't call it underrated. I would say the Amazon one is underrated. Unfortunately it's divorced from the based-ness of the comic and has the standard Amazon pozzed shit spread out
What's his name?
He's the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight!
my favorite villain of all time
Where is issue 13 Ben
>just got the complete Edlund book yesterday
I'm in for a good time bros
>1 cartoon
>2 live action series
No ninja world, no Oedipus, no Paul the Samurai, no chainsaw vigilante , no man eating cow
Though I guess the show and cartoon both had Batman analogs and Wonder Woman analogs
The amazon show had a Superman analog which the original comic also had
Amazon show had a few shout outs to things we'd not yet seen. I liked their B team for the Flag 5. and Ms Lint going more and more unstable. And the next big bad living in Wrathbones Blackhole Heart.
The vigilante guy in the Amazon show was kind of close to “chainsaw vigilante” I suppose
And he had the Terror in the show too. I just really liked the Ninja world stuff in the comic so I wish they used it once in awhile.
>no tuxedo over the main suit ever
>no thorn
>no bagguette concealment
>no arthur having way more agency and detective skills
But more homelander haha
The live action shows were more Arthur centric than the cartoon and comic. Would have been interesting if the Amazon series started with Tick dealing with ninjas and then Arthur showing up
Guess they wanted to do “is Arthur crazy” but that lasts 3 episodes anyways
I liked in the comic how The City was all C list heroes so they had to go to New York to be in the big league
All the adaptations has the City being full of heroes .
I have a theory that ben edlund was absolutely never ever going back to the city based on how quickly he ditched it and all that canada and roadtrip setup. Also dot is cute in every version I guess except for the 2001 version.
I wonder how the Tick in New York saga would have ended. I don't see Tick keeping all the rich Tick stuff.
and there was that random subplot about tv mind controlling everyone. but that was only a few pages in the comic
Warburton never got to play live action barry
plus this tragedy too. We saw thrakkorzogs tendril I guess?
>no man eating cow
It was in the cartoon. I remember there was an action figure that was pretty expensive for a while.
Shame that crazy lady Amazon put in charge killed that version of the series. She has been fixated with getting their Game of Thrones and just threw tons of good money at bad projects nobody gives a shit about.
They killed the Pilot Program as well because of that. Gotta get the Big Names.
Maybe Jackson and Doc will be part of the next iteration. Show the likes of Harley Quinn how its done.
>two live action shows
>no chair face chippendale
Assuming they could pull off the look, who'd do the voice? Tony Jay is a tough act to follow.
where can i watch the animated series online?
i try to stream it on "hulu" but for some reason all the fricking music is gone and it sounds quite odd
is there a streaming service that doesn't have this stupid problem
Not in the face, not in the face!
Hmm. Lacks force, chum.

I know the Venture dudes worked on the tick animated series but the rumor was that Ben didn't even write the last few issues of the Tick it was his friend Jackson Publick
This debuted 3 days after my 8th birthday and I immediately loved it, even if I was too young to catch the throw-away joke of Bi-Polar Bear in the first episode.
The original One Punch Man
Not even God could smite THE TICK
I do really wonder about the extent of his nigh invulnerability, remember when he handed off the reigns to the city to man eating cow after she ate chairface's hitmen? Would their nigh invulnerable raygun have hurt tick if it hit? Probably not but the story had them miss instead of him tanking it. The catchpa spells nuts.
>The catchpa spells nuts.
But it's all about the numbers game now.
He gets hit in the head with a meteorite. He got a little dazed from what I recall....so he could be hurt, in theory
Nah, he only gets silly, not actually hurt.
>One Punch Man
The greatest stalemate in the history of the world.
The Man of Japan and the Tick of....tock.
Those homies would cause more destruction to the universe than Doomsday ever could.
Nice plan, Lex....
Based and redpilled, 10/10.

any other Comic book subplots that will never get resolved ?
i didn't like the pace of the amazon show. Like it moved through the jokes from the comic too fast. For example when Tick enters Arthur's apartment for the first time and starts looking for the lever to the secret lair. In the comic and the cartoon it's focused and is kind of a reoccuring joke. In the Amazon show it's literally ten seconds of Tick asking
>where's the button to the secret hideout? This it?
and he breaks the coat hanger. And he looks like an butthole whereas the comic Tick genuinely thought Arthur had a secret entrance.
Another joke they speed through is when the Tick falls out a building and tries to jump off a flag only to break it. Again it's set up in the comic and has a great pay off. In the show it's literally the cold open and instead of seeing the flagpole waggle around he just jumps up and goes back upstairs. And there's no dialogue where he describes his train of "thought". He just reaches for the pole and snaps it.
They did a great job with The Terror though.
's the button to the secret hideout? This it?
>and he breaks the coat hanger. And he looks like an butthole whereas the comic Tick genuinely thought Arthur had a secret entrance.
And the worst part of this is Tick fricking helps Arthur steal his costume. He spends the majority of the first episodes trying to convince Arthur to become a superhero. Why would he suddenly think Arthur has a hideout in his fricking apartment. Shit it's implied Tick has been following Arthur all his life! They changed too much.
I do like this cover of Basketcase though. It at least matches the show.
